“Thanks for taking such good care of our puppies!”


About: My wife and I have had dogs for over 25 years, we would love the chance to take in your pup while you're away. Be careful they might come home spoiled. I am able to give injections if needed, have experience with senior dogs. I am retired and able to take care of your dog 24/7. My wife is home by early afternoon and home on weekends, to also help with your dog's needs. I have a big fenced in backyard and a dog of my own for your pup to play with, he's about 50lbs. and loves to play ball.

About: Because of my living situation, I can’t have a dog of my own, so I’d love to take care of yours! Available for walks, let outs, house sitting, anything! I have a cat if my own, so I’m very comfortable taking care of kittys too! I’ve pet sat for friends and family before and can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I’m a teacher, so summers I’m very available and during the school year I’m available after 3 and on weekends! Contact me and we can work something out! I’m willing to do whatever it takes to keep your pets happy and healthy! And will communicate with you as much or as little as you’d like! I know it’s stressful leaving your pets, so I’ll do what I can to make things as stress free as possible!

“Gregory took amazing care of our cat. Great communication and thorough check-ins. Our kitty is usually a little upset with us after returning from travel, but this time he was his usual happy self. Gregory provided him with enough love and scratches until we returned. We're so grateful and hope to hire Gregory again in the future!”


“Jill was great. She warmed up to sky very well and was extremely responsive. I 100% recommend her and will be using her services again soon.”


About: I've taken care of dogs since we got our first family dogs when I was 8 years old. Justin & Feisty were my first dogs and they were truly the light of my life from such a young age. I have experience with senior dogs as well from my time dog sitting for one of my neighbors. I love puppies and make sure to take them out constantly so that they learn that potty training is a serious business. I'm fairly active and love taking long walks and getting my exercise in, it would be fun to have a furry friend join be from time to time! I'm currently working in data analytics Monday-Friday from 9-5. Outside of that, I'm pretty free. I work from home one day out of the week and I am pretty free on the weekends as well. I am open to do night walks and morning walks as well. I keep a very clean space and love cuddling with pups on my furniture. I stay in a very close knit community at a Condo! There are other dogs around and there is a dog park connected to my community as well. There are plenty of places to walk around in my neighborhood and plenty of grassland as well. Pets are open to freely walk around in my home and are free to jump on furniture if it pleases them! I like to stay active and go on walks, however, I also love to stay in relax and catch up on some shows.

About: I enjoy being with pups and getting them outside! I have an 11 year old chihuahua mix who is anxious and dog-reactive so no stranger to dogs with specific needs. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule. I am available to check in on your dog or take them for a walk during the day, most days. My own dog has specific needs (senior, anxious, dog-reactive) so I will be sure to follow any directions to the tee. I want to make sure you feel good about leaving your pup in my care.

“Mark was reliable and communicated daily. He took great care of three cats seven days in a row! We were thrilled with his attention to our cats. He sent pictures daily.”


About: Tail-wagging care you can count on! I have 20 years of pet sitting experience with a wide range of pet personalities and temperaments and 25 years of loving my own fur babies as well. I specialize in puppy care and basic training reinforcement (housetraining, play based development, leash manners), senior pet care (gentle handling, mobility support, medication administration), and special needs and rescue animals (with an understanding of anxiety, therapeutic support, and slow-trust building). I treat every pet like my own—with kindness, reliability, and plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. You can relax knowing your pet is not only safe, but genuinely cared for. :) I'm currently working part time from home so I prioritize caring for your pet with the same attention I gave to my own pets - making sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe while you're away. I have a fenced yard and an animal-friendly home. Currently there are no other pets in the home because my three fur babies have since passed on after 15-17 years of life. I now have two children (my daughter is 7, and my son is 4) who love animals and are very gentle and caring. If your pet doesn't prefer children, please let me know and I wouldn't bring them with me to care for your pet. :)

“I would definitely recommend Daniel to look after your pets. He keeps you informed and has great communication through the process. Not once did I have to worry about our cats. Thanks Daniel!”


“Emily, did a great job with my boy! She was super! Very professional, and went above an beyond to make sure that my dog was taken care of! Thank you Emily!”


About: I treat every pet like family… I make sure too offer personalized care, constant updates, and a calm, loving environment they’ll feel right at home in. I'm available every day for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. My schedule is fully open until I start my job in August, so your pet gets my full attention and flexibility! In my cozy apartment, your dog will feel right at home alongside my friendly 1-year-old Maltese who loves to play. We take frequent walks, visit Mahoney Dog Park regularly, and enjoy time in our apartment’s dog-friendly outdoor area. I keep a clean, safe space and give each pet plenty of love, attention, and playtime.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs for the past few years. I enjoy taking them on walks and throwing the ball with dogs. I have 2 furry friends of my own that I also care for and would love a friend to play with. I feed and bath them, so I have a ton of experience. I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to feed, walk, and play with your pet! I’m home more than I am at work, so my schedule will be pretty open for any pet sitting needed. I have an invisible fence at my own home so I have extra collars for pets when they come and visit. I also have two furry friends for your pets to play with!

“She took very great care of my dogs and kept me updated the whole time!”


About: I grew up with a Min-Pin from the time I was born until he passed in 2009. In 2005, I took in my Grandmas senior mutt dog and took in a Blue Heeler puppy that I found in Missouri in 2006. Both have since passed of old age. I currently have two pups at home (a Chocolate Lab mix, 7, and a Blue Heeler rescue, 13). I have experience with lots of kinds of dogs and cats and would love to meet more. I know a lot of guys aren’t favored on the app, but I hope you’ll take a chance on me! I mean… I’m wearing a propeller hat… I currently work full-time, typically 5am-3pm. I have availability after 4PM on Monday and Tuesday, and after 3 on Wednesday-Friday. This can be subject to change depending on bookings, work changes, and potential work travel. I am currently living at home post-grad. I have a large yard that I play with my dogs in and plenty of surrounding parks nearby. Very big on the outdoors for dogs with high-energy, but also enjoy quiet time for a pup that just wants to take their time.

I also have access to a fenced-in yard at my dad's house, just a short drive away, where your pup can safely run and play. I make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure, whether we're at home, on a walk, or enjoying some supervised outdoor time.

About: I love animals, I have been taking care of pets since I can remember. From fish to turtles, to dogs and cats! I’ve worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility so I’ve had the opportunity to work with dogs with disabilities, puppies, seniors and tons of different breeds! I treat all like I would my own! I’m a busy body always looking for something to do. So on my off days I would love nothing more than to stay active with your babies! I have a fenced in yard that my blind pup gets to run around in. I take him for walks 1-2 times a day and we often have tons of fun playing with his toys!

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I can remember, and caring for them comes naturally to me.
